Quick answer: Your name and date of birth on a background check must match your government ID and your application. Mismatches can delay or invalidate your results.
Common Mismatches
Married names, hyphenated names, missing middle names and typos in dates of birth are the most common problems. Use the exact name on your current ID and application.
Tell the Technician About Name Changes
If your name recently changed, tell the technician and bring your current ID. Your agency may also want previous names listed.
